I took a trip to Mitford recently as I read Jan Karon's new book, Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good. At first I thought the story dragged a little, but by the middle of the book I was totally engrossed in it. I highly recommend it to any fan of the Mitford series. Reading this book was like catching up with old friends. I will admit, it made me cry several times. I am a sentimental sap sometimes.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is another book that I have been reading. For some reason, I had very different expectations of this book than what it turned out to be. Not that I didn't like the book. No, I was totally taken with the story and read and read for hours until I had devoured the book completely. I can't wait to read the sequel, Hollow City.

And finally, I just finished reading Jennifer Weiner's All Fall Down: A Novel. I usually like Weiner's books - they are not too difficult to read and I can just whiz through them. This one kind of dragged for me. I did not connect with the characters in it as much as I have with many of her other books. But, I still finished it so the story was compelling enough to make me want to find out what happened to the main character.
